Linux on a pendrive
by Michael Weiner 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Thought i would throw this out there to the those that have far more experience than i in this matter. I have a need to create a bootable USB pendrive, easy enough, thanks to the LiveUSB-Creator tool provided on the fedoraproject site. But what i need is a desktop linux (KDE preferred) with some additional RPMs and Applications on it (Scientific based apps like PyMol) on a pendrive. I have created the pendrive with quite a bit of space for persistent storage, but wanted some opinions on the best way to move forward. Thanks in advance for any direction Michael Weiner

recent update issues
by Dennis Kaptain 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I have been following the fedora-list for several years off and on. From time to time I see as well as occasionally experience issues with updates breaking things. It seems to me that this week has been especially tough. There has been a flurry of problems including the libX11 issue that is affecting me personally. To help keep all this in perspective, I want to point out that this is a very rare occurrence. I keep my system up to date with the very latest packages available, checking mostly daily, and almost never have any kind of problem. Now that a problem has surfaced, as is my experience, I'm sure it will be fixed very quickly. In this regard: To all the developers out there, whose names I don't even know, who work hard at keeping MY computer updated and secure with one of the best operating systems on the planet, for FREE, Thank you!

kde library problem?
by Kirk Lowery 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Maybe I missed others having this problem: All of a sudden my uptodate F10 kde apps hang on launching. For example, when I start quanta from the console, I get: kbuildsycoca running... Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:186 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:187 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:188 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:189 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:190 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:191 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:192 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:193 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:194 Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:224 When I start kb3, okular and others, they just hang with no error message. I googled around, but didn't find anything recent. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks! Kirk

update caused java breakage
by brian 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Since allowing some updates a couple days ago, I can no longer run jEdit. It looks like it's something to do with X11 or GTK but that's about as much as I can figure out. When I try starting the app, it hangs with a white screen. The ~/.jedit/activity.log shows: -- snip -- java.version=1.5.0_14 java.vm.version=1.5.0_14-b03 java.runtime.version=1.5.0_14-b03 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. java.compiler=null os.name=Linux os.version=2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 os.arch=i386 user.home=/home/bde java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.14/jre java.class.path=/home/bde/jedit/4.3pre12/jedit.jar An error occurred while connecting to the jEdit server instance.

While trying to debug this, I also realised that I don't have openJDK installed, which seems really odd.
